Fans already knew Bandai Namco and Project Aces were working on it, but now it's officially official: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve has been announced.
The arcade action flight sim is coming to PS5 in 2026, as revealed in the debut trailer:
The presentation looks excellent and more cinematic than usual, immersing you in a first person perspective as characters talk to you about your mission.
We've no doubt the gameplay will be largely what we've come to expect from the series, with tight, smooth controls as you dogfight among the clouds.

Please pretty please let it be playable all in VR like GT7.
@CaptainGoodnight my thoughts exactly! This will be amazing in VR (just like 7 was), but if they manage to make the full game playable in VR it'll have the air combat genre covered, while Flight Simulator 2024 will cover the realistic simulator side of things.
Maybe we'll see Aces of Thunder enter the fray too, but I think most of us are firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp on that one these days.
